Robe is moving on. The writing is on the wall fellas. Some of us are looking at this situation backwards. Tony doesn't need this university; but i would argue that ul does, in some regard need him. Remember the post season interview he gave to katc? Mark my words guys Robe is already gone.

Programs across the country are experiencing what we have gone through for 30 years. Any additional funding will help UL. I honestly believe that if UL were to push a serious grass roots effort and encourage alumni that have chosen to support LSU to donate a small sum of money $1000 per year or less we will be in better finacial shape than we have ever been.
For two or three generations UL has allienated the alumni, fans and local businesses with disregard for their opinion or money. If they wish to embrace the community and aggresively seek outside funding they can come close to doubling its current budget. Or at least get to close to $20 million per year.
I'm with ya. Maybe some fresh meat would do us some good, which is hard to say because i am a huge robe guy. I just find it funny that ppl are forgetting that he doesn't have a lifetime contract at ul. Isn't in funny that all of the defections are young players? Being the classy man that tony is, it would not suprise me if he called those guys in, and laid his future plans out on the table; which we all agree would be the right thing to do. But we'll see, i supposed.

IF this is true. it is entirely possible that UL would be hiring THREE new coaches in all 3 major sports in 1 year!!
Has this ever happened??
Imagine what an unbelievable task that would be vetting all those potential HC's. It would certainly be the biggest test in our athletic department's history.
Somebody brought up Smoke's name, hence the comments. I assumed he was referring to Smoke Laval but I could be wrong. You make it seem as if I just pulled Smoke's name out of thin air, lol.
Here's the quote:
"Hey, he ain't Smoke, and by that, I mean, from what I read and heard, smoke wasn't personable, Robe is."
I don't think that Robe is in fear of losing his job but I do think after the 2011 season he might be thinking of some other ventures. In his last interview I felt that he his waiting for his son to finish highschool and hopefully have the renervations he wanted before departing.Then he might feel that his job is completed here. This is just me reading between the lines. He would have 17 years here and a new buisness started. We all have opinions, don't we?
